TEAM FOUR EVENT LOG

MAGATUS
READY: START.

Roster: Noah Isaacs + Gunther Schwarz, Gintaro Suzukaze + Elda Marker, Dave Strider + Byakuya Kirigiri, Shouto Todoroki + Akira Kurusu, Eren Jaeger + Yusuke Kitagawa, Soleil Beaufort + Vera Weisz, Alessandro Vinsmoke + Yu Narukami, Cleo Ritter + Minako Arisato, Penelope Raban + Olive Freya Yun, Orihime Inoue + Matthew Murdock, Ryouta Ono + Baren Kaiyou, Prompto Argentum + Keigo Higashino, Zaveid Taleb + Ragna Edgson, Amelia Wagner + Kasen Kaneda


On the morning of the fourth at 9am, you'll find yourself gathering at the Recollé Zoo and Aquarium. Many of you will find yourself partnered up and with a name in mind, and awaiting in front of you is a large bus with the Retrospec logo on the hood. A text comes through not long after, Zee's name attached.

I'm no Ms. Frazzle, but I think this bus will do the trick. Hope you packed a book or something.


Upon boarding the bus you'll find that's it's equipped for a longer road trip. There are snacks, books, video game consoles, and even a few beds and bathrooms. Just as well, seeing how you're going to be traveling north of the city, traveling through the woods for about seven hours. As you travel, the sky begins to change colors and the temperature drops toward the end of your journey. Outside the window you'll see a mountain range and snow on the ground, and stars streak across the sky as you enter the beautiful region of Magatus.



Permanently semi-dark with beautiful colors streaking across the sky, Magatus is filled with rivers, grass, coniferous trees and snow-capped mountains. The temperature is quite frigid, so travelers will need to bundle up!

The region known as Magatus is fairly open and while there may not a huge population like Recollé, there are small clusters of buildings and homes that characters can find by exploring this region. There is roughly 1,500 square miles to cover in the area claiming to be Magatus and some parts of this region may experiences changes in weather including heavy snow, ice, and blackouts.

Most of the towns are quaint and friendly though most people appear to mind their own business. If spoken to, they will explain that they’ve been enjoying their time alone and away from the hustle and bustle of city life, though it may be a little hard to know if this is actually true. Some of the younger ones will say they’ve lived here their whole life, but most will shy away from the topic of where they came from. Shops that can be found seem to range in the realm of basic general stores, hardware stores, mini foodmarts, and weaponry. The Magatus people truly live a simple life.

The true nature of this region doesn’t seem to come out until nightfall, however. As the light fades and the sky darkens, the colors brighten above and the sound of wolves begin howling nonstop. Depending, you may even hear the sound of snarling and growling, quick footsteps crunching through fresh snow and irritated barking. The townspeople know better than to stay out at night when the wolves run and the shadows dance, and they would advise that anyone from out of town take cover.

Too bad they won’t invite you in. You’re on your own out in the wilderness.


This is the Team Four Event Log! You are free to toplevel and thread as you choose on this log, but only team members may utilize this log.

Remember, your activity to qualify for your two free memories and one item is supplying at least 30 comments spread over the three objectives per group (minimum of 5 comments per objective!) with at least three members of your groups. You will not be eligible if you do not participate in all three objectives somehow, and you will not be eligible if you only stick with your preferred partner!

People who are paired with partners will experience some of the following:

-Telepathic connections, but only the thoughts you don’t want your partner to actually hear. You can also use this to influence your partner’s thoughts.
-Color fades when you’re not cooperating, it brightens when you are.
-Cause and effect. If something happens to your partner, you feel it (i.e. if your partner trips somewhere, you’ll feel the effects.)
-Timers. You and your partner will have a countdown embedded somewhere (hand, foot, chest, whatever) and if you don’t complete your missions and see each other before the timer runs out, consequences occur.

These are not required and you may play with these as little or as much as you want!

Important links to mod toplevels are: Mod Questions, Participation Reporting, NPC questions. Please be aware you are responsible for reporting your own participation & objective completion efforts with links. You must ICly tap into the log within the first 48 hours, or you will be removed from your team.
If your activity is low per objective, the moderators may reach out to you about reassignment as well.

The schedule for Team Four is as follows:
Feb 3rd: Objective 1 posted (9PM EST) | Threading for Travel to Location | Threading for Objective One
Objective 2: Info about Objective Two | Threading for Objective Two
Objective 3: Info about Objective Three | Threading for Objective Three | Objective Three point Five

Oh yes, the sword!

[ How could she forget the sword that burned the carpet in their dorm. ]

I'm sure there has to be some branches or debris...there are trees on mountains, of course.

[ Which, after wandering around probably a little too far into the cave, Orihime manages to round up a meager pile. But it should be enough. ]

Will this work?

[ Orihime just cheers enough for the both of them. And cheering is important, she thinks, because it shows your support and you can't win without friends! So she is most definitely jumping up and down and waving her arms in the air. ]

Soliel! Wooooooo!

[ And when she comes in place? ]

Aaaaah! She did it! She did it!

[ Running right after Vera--well, hopping, sort of, given the fact that she hasn't stopped jumping since the race started--Orihime waves her arms as Vera gives Soliel a hug. ]

You're amazing, Soliel! You left those guys in the dust! You took the hurdles like they were nothing! Just tiny mountains that you obliterated!

[ . . . Okay girl you should not be leaving the cave like that, that hole's barely big enough for it safely and beyond that there's a risk- Elda ends up sending three bats after Orihime and exhales a little, pulling out her phone and, in the reduced light of the cave, exposes her red eyes by taking off her shades.

That swords- ]


That's impressive, Soliel. Golly.

[ As they travel, it’s unfortunately filled with being thorns on Ragna’s sides. Poor guy. Of course they don’t rag on him for too long, generally talking about what they look forward to, how their day back home went, and what they’re hoping to learn from this trip. Temple to tempo, they find slots where they fit the stones in, letting them pass with suspicious ease despite seeing some of the lizard enemies along the way.

Finally, they made it to the last temple. It stands as magnanimous and has a holder for the stone as the rest, casting a large shadow of their way. Once it’s slotted in, the gates open to show a gem large and lustrous. With a paw print engraved in it, there can only be one conclusion. This is what they’re after.
]

This has been easier than I thought.

[ Which is a shame to Akira since he was hoping for a battle of some sort, even against the small fry. With a sigh, he can say he’s slightly relieved for his teammates, though. His eyes sparkle to match the gem, thinking about how they should snatch it—the stone should have disabled all the traps and monsters, leaving them with the opportunity to do something grand and superfluous. What to do, what to do?

But then there is the sound of flapping wings, a shrill shriek, and oh. The gem is in the clutches of a harpy.

[ Ever since his talk with Baren Matt has been noting where Cleo is among the group. He's surprised he has avoided interaction with her so much, he would have expected her to confront him in some form by now. During their time at camp he works on memorizing her heartbeat sound and scent so he can pick her out of the crowd quicker. It has been a challenge with all the unfamiliar people present and all the sounds and sensations of the wilderness around them.

Now in the lodge kitchen he hears her enter, clearly trying to do so as quietly as she can so he plays along and continues with his cooking. He was half expecting an attempt to jump him from behind so he's surprised when she positions herself across from him. He almost greets her with a friendly "hello" when she lifts one hand but then he senses a dramatic temperature dip in the direction of her hand.
]

What are you-

[ She chucks the ice ball at him and he bats it away awkwardly with the ladle he has in hand. The ice ball hits one of the cabinets to the side and shatters. He sets the ladle aside and frowns at her. ]

Do you want dinner?
cattack: (pic#4867983)

[personal profile] cattack 2018-02-28 07:18 am (UTC)(link)
I want answers.

[But her pulse relaxes, and her breathing slows. She's relaxed now. She got the answer she wanted.

She'd been careful to propel the ice with magic, rather than her normal force. So she hadn't taken any throwing stances, or done anything to let him know something would be flying in his direction. In other words, if he could block that so easily... He must have seen it coming.]


Who are you?
blessmefather: (I HAVE)

[personal profile] blessmefather 2018-02-28 08:06 am (UTC)(link)
[ Oh boy. Back to stirring and hopefully not making a mess in the kitchen by the time this conversation is over. ]

Someone concerned with the safety of innocent lives. That's why I volunteered for this mission.

[personal profile] cattack 2018-02-28 08:09 am (UTC)(link)
Then allow me a different question.

[In an instant, her tone is sharp, and her hand is on her sword, ready to draw it.]

What did you do to Matt?
blessmefather: (I HAVE)

[personal profile] blessmefather 2018-02-28 08:28 am (UTC)(link)
[ He tilts his head. ]

What exactly are you accusing me of?
blessmefather: (just showing)

[personal profile] blessmefather 2018-02-28 08:32 am (UTC)(link)
Good! Want to be the first to try it?

[ He's rather proud of how nicely the meal turned out based on smell. He dishes some of the meat and potatoes onto a plate and offers it to her. ]

My niece Mary says my cooking has gotten even better since my senses heightened. I thought I'd put my skills to the test.
blessmefather: (I HAVE)

[personal profile] blessmefather 2018-02-28 08:47 am (UTC)(link)
[ He dishes out a plate for her and sets it on the counter next to her with a fork and knife. ]

I am getting a bit warm but it's nothing terribly bad. Just glad I didn't wrap my head in a Winter scarf.

When we get back, we can use the woods— see if it’s just anger.

[ and feel around for anything else; they could test the waters without worrying about people around them. ]

I figured out I need an injury and a solid goal to shift. And that I have limits. So we’ll figure out yours, too.
usurpers: (FURSECUTION)

[personal profile] usurpers 2018-02-28 09:33 am (UTC)(link)
[ oh my god ]

I cleaned it up after.

[ “no” ]

[ Yusuke just holds up a hand, and waves it slightly. Give him a moment. He feels like someone emptied him from the inside out - right down to the hollows of his bones. Moving feels like he’s pushing through tar, and there’s a sensation around his head like he’s looking at the world through water and glass; blurred and indistinct. ]

We need... a healer. [ There are some Personas who can heal - he remembers that much. Goemon isn’t one of them, he’d have a low level spell by now if he could cast healing magic. Ann does, he remembers that too, but Ann isn’t here. Yu probably does, if he’s capable of multiple Personas like Akira is...

Wait. ]


Akira might... have a Persona that could heal him. [ Is talking supposed to be this tiring? ] Someone else with a Persona might... not Goemon though.

[Shouto ended up at the bottom of this pile, and even though he's a sturdy guy- he's still a teenager. Those are two pretty well muscled men on top of him and he's wheezing.]

...Move...
cattack: (No. That's not okay.)

[personal profile] cattack 2018-02-28 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Retrospec's list of names had Matt's name on it. He is not here. You are. So, then... What did you do?
rebellions: (your face is rude)

[personal profile] rebellions 2018-02-28 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[This trip has been an actual nightmare. Not because it's difficult — on the contrary, it's almost suspiciously simple — but mostly because of his company. Ragna would much rather fight hoards of bloodthirsty monsters than listen to all this small talk, let alone participate in it. As such, he welcomes the final temple with unfeigned relief.]

No, it's been longer than I thought! If the thing we've been looking for was here all along, then why the hell did they send us on this pointless side quest?!

[Before he can complain some more about it, they're joined by their Final Boss™ and it quickly becomes clear the gems they've been using to bypass most of the dangers will be useless here.]

... Should've figured there's a catch.
loudmouths: (🌟 OH GOD WHAT ARE YOU DOING)

[personal profile] loudmouths 2018-02-28 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)

[ keigo was probably the one who had the most ""fun"" out of the three. walking around, enjoying the scenery, waving at miscellaneous spirits? not fighting? no real danger? yeah, he'd take it. there was no shame, as far as he was concerned, in taking the easy route when it was available. the faster they completed the mission, the better, right?

of course, all good things had to come to an end. ]


What the...

[ the shrill shriek had keigo jolting to attention, instinctively jumping behind his companions. sure, he could be brave but... why be brave when there wasn't a reason to be yet? ]

Holy shit! Are you kiddin' me?!

[ even still, keigo's hand drifted down to the seemingly empty scabbard on his hip, fingertips brushing the hilt anxiously. ]

Okay, um. So... [ quick, think like an RPG. ] ...anyone have an AOE?

-Kasen grumbled before pulling himself out from the dogpile, rolling onto his back and panting as he did so, pulling the katana from his belt and letting it rest beside him.-

That... was horrid. What an gorgeous celestial scene, only to be ruined by nearly becoming dragon food...

[ Nod, nod.

That said, the more she thinks on it, taking the fork up to herself she spins it in her hand and tilts her head to the side. ]


There's no way someone could see through that, is there? Does the raar compensate for it?

[personal profile] maskreant 2018-02-28 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Oh, boy... He can feel his heart race. How exhilirating. This is the moment Akira has been waiting for. With a sly grin on his face, it's almost suspicious how much he's enjoying this. ]

On it.

[ The harpy leaves its gem to approach the three, talons bared and murderous intent high, but Akira is quick to dash off before a gun appears in his hand. Landing a couple of shots, the harpy screeches in pain as she beats her wings, changing her attention to him instead. ]

Try to distract it for a bit. We might be able to steal the gem and ollie out.

MODS what effects, if any, would keigo's zanpakutou have on this harpy!! the sword can pierce souls and all that junk so if it'll cause any specific effect, lemme know! otherwise i'll just fudge some vague bs, it don't matter none. o/

[Normally, Ragna heavily dislikes taking orders from people (also known as: actual cooperation), but in the face of what's likely a mortal peril he's willing to make an exception. Once every six months, at least.]

Gotcha!

[That can do. No point in being stealthy now, after all.]

HEY, YOU BIG PIECE OF SHIT!!

[You'd think a harpy couldn't care less about name-calling, but if nothing else, the shout does distract her from Akira and convinces her to pursue Ragna for the time being. She flies over to where Ragna's standing, diving in with her talons ready to tear him to sheds, though he's prepared for that, so he jumps to the side, avoiding the attack with relative ease.]
loudmouths: (🌟 i hope water runs out soon)

[personal profile] loudmouths 2018-02-28 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)

[ it was times like these that made keigo realize he was probably not suited for combat. watching ragna jump right into the fray had him on edge, clearly worried about him getting injured, but the same went for akira, too. basically: why's it gotta be this way.

but, keigo couldn't just let them run the risk of hurting themselves. with a deep breath, he flanked our lovely lady, but rather than try to run at her with the sword, keigo instead opted to pick up a sizeable rock and just chuck it at her.

playing baseball in highschool had its perks. maybe if she couldn't pick a person to focus on, it'd make stealing the gem easier?! ]
